Why doesn’t Steve Young miss the chance to take down the Dallas Cowboys? Since Young was a star player for the San Francisco 49ers for a long time. Back then, the 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys were big rivals. This rivalry was a significant part of QB Young’s successful career, leading him to the Hall of Fame.

In recent times, Steve Young has been saying some critical things about the Cowboys. He believes they won’t do well this year. It’s possible that Steve Young’s loyalty to the 49ers and his history with the team’s rivalry against the Cowboys influence his opinion. That’s why he’s not too positive about the Cowboys’ chances.

One of the most storied rivalries in the NFL is between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, and it just got a fresh spark from a 49ers legend. Steve Young, the former superstar quarterback who led the 49ers to three Super Bowl titles, has boldly declared that the Cowboys “Don’t Have a Chance!” in the upcoming season.

The Hall of Famer praised the 49ers’ head coach, Kyle Shanahan, as one of the most innovative minds in the game, while taking a shot at the Cowboys’ outdated offense. According to Young, the 49ers have a head coach who is always coming up with new ways to attack defenses, while the Cowboys last year were running plays from six years ago and don’t have a chance.
